I used compressed air to get rid of all the water I can find....
Hopefully this will do the trick and I can get her phone working again....
I figured you used the denatured alchohol to get rid of the sugar residue from your slush.... right? since this was water.. I'm inclined to not do that step... ?? |
Based on my experience I would still wash the boards with denatured alcohol. Try not to take out the touchscreen or the LCD, your dust problems will get a lot worse (trust me). :-)
I have yet to lose a phone to water damage, from a Motorola I took in a hot tub to a LG I dropped in beer at a concert. Take it apart, wash it with alcohol and then get it as dry as possible. You may have some temporary spotting of the screen and you may need a new battery (once in my case) but IMHO that should fix it.
My phone is still working great, although in the past two days my SD card has stopped mounting and reports as broken, WTF? It's most likely the cheap ass microcenter one I have in there, we'll see.
